This is the First New Thread I have ever started. Punctuation is not a strong point so go easy at least I have Spell check.
Lets answer the burning question first. What was my greatest fear? Death, Plain and simple its on everyone's mind and always has been since the beginning of time, at one point or another.
Next question on your mind might be how did ATS help you with your fear of death? that pretty easy to answer also.
This is a place where some of the greatest minds on the planet post IMO.
So what happens after you die? This is what I personally have come to believe with the help of this forum and its people. Reincarnation. Now this was a very personal journey that took 1/2 a life time to come to fruition. So don't expect me to have all the right answers for your personal quest to conquer your own fear or fears.
But I will post a tiny fraction of the info I have found very helpful on my path to enlightenment.
Evidence for Reincarnation from Western Medical Research
Mainstream Science & Reincarnation
Child's Nightmares and Memories Prove Reincarnation
REINCARNATION - YES IT IS TRUE
Seeds of the Soul By Maiya Gray-Cobb page 119-120 has some interesting facts on the church and reincarnation.
I could post hundreds and hundreds of links I have read on this subject, but I think this is enough to get people started on there own quest for answers.
Now on a more personal note, Since I have became more and more enlightened there has been some very significant changes is my life and soul to say the least. For the first time in my life I feel at peace and happier than I ever have spiritually and physically, Thanks to ATS providing a gate way into research on the subject of death and what happens after you die.
All I can hope for is at least one person find peace like I have from reading this post and investigating the issue like I did. If that happens my goal of this post will be accomplished.
Thank You for taking time to read my first post and i hope you enjoyed it,edit on 8-4-2011 by pez1975 because: font size error

Well it can't be just 1 or there would only be just one now. The same soul would keep on reincarnating into something else, but there would only ever be one life form at a time.

This is why I have a problem with reincarnation because for it to be true 'souls' would have to have been injected into our universe from somewhere else and at the beginning there was no life.
I don't fear death at all, it is the great mystery. If there is nothing after death so be it, just like before I was conceived, it really doesn't matter right now while I am alive in this state of consciousness.
